Introduction: Neurological complications secondary to the uremic state, contribute largely to the morbidity and mortality in patients with renal failure. The prevalence of peripheral neuropathy remains high in advanced renal dysfunction.

Materials And Methods: The present cross-sectional study was conducted on 100 adult patients of chronic kidney disease between 18 and 75 years of age with serum creatinine greater than 2 mg/dL.

Bone mineral density in patients with predialysis chronic kidney disease.

Background: There is limited data available especially in Indian Population about prevalence of reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and various factors associated with it in CKD patients not on dialysis.

Material: This study included 75 adult patients. Patients were divided into three groups depending upon GFR.
